Overview

Description

For courses in undergraduate Analysis and Transition to Advanced Mathematics.

Analysis with an Introduction to Proof, Fifth Edition helps fill in the groundwork students need to succeed in real analysis—often considered the most difficult course in the undergraduate curriculum. By introducing logic and emphasizing the structure and nature of the arguments used, this text helps students move carefully from computationally oriented courses to abstract mathematics with its emphasis on proofs. Clear expositions and examples, helpful practice problems, numerous drawings, and selected hints/answers make this text readable, student-oriented, and teacher- friendly.

Features

More than 250 true/false questions are unique to this text and tied directly to the narrative; these are perfect for stimulating class discussion and debate.

Carefully worded to anticipate common student errors

Encourage critical thinking and promote careful reading of the text

The justification for a “false" answer is often an example that the students can add to their growing collection of counterexamples.

More than 100 practice problems throughout the text provide a simple problem for students to apply what they have just read. Answers are provided just prior to the exercises for reinforcement and for students to check their understanding.

Exceptionally high-quality drawings illustrate key ideas.

Numerous examples and more than 1,000 exercises give the breadth and depth of practice that students need to learn and master the material.

Fill-in-the-blank proofs guide students in the art of writing proofs.

Glossary of Key Terms at the end of the book includes 180 key terms with the meaning and page number where each is introduced, providing an invaluable reference when studying, or for future courses.

Review of Key Terms after each section emphasizes the importance of definitions and language in mathematics and helps students organize their studying.

New to This Edition

Some proofs have been simplified and there are several new examples and illustrations.

More than 200 new exercises provide more of the practice that students need to master the material.

The definition of a convergent sequence has been changed to include the more traditional requirement that the number limiting the indices should be a natural number (rather than a real number). This emphasizes the Archimedean property of the real numbers.

Animated PowerPoint Presentations are now available for all sections in the text. More than just an outline of each lesson, these were created by the author for use in his own classroom.

About the Author(s)

Steven Lay is a Professor of Mathematics at Lee University in Cleveland, TN. He received M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in mathematics from the University of California at Los Angeles. He has authored three books for college students, from a senior level text on Convex Sets to an Elementary Algebra text for underprepared students. The latter book introduced a number of new approaches to preparing students for algebra and led to a series of books for middle school math. Professor Lay has a passion for teaching, and the desire to communicate mathematical ideas more clearly has been the driving force behind his writing. He comes from a family of mathematicians, with his father Clark Lay having been a member of the School Mathematics Study Group in the 1960s and his brother David Lay authoring a popular text on Linear Algebra. He is a member of the American Mathematical Society, the Mathematical Association of America, and the Association of Christians in the Mathematical Sciences.
